Mark 13
1 While Jesus was leaving the Temple [area], one of his disciples said to him, “Teacher, look at how marvelous [these] huge stones [in the walls are] and how wonderful [these] buildings [are]!”
Yesu pakaweriti kankulawa Mnumba nkulu ya Mlungu, mfundwa yumu kamgambiriti, “Mfunda Guloli mabuwi aga na numba azi ntambu yaziwera za kulikangashira!”
2 Jesus said to him, “[Yes], these buildings that you are looking [at] [RHQ] [are wonderful], but I [want to tell you something about] them. They will [soon] be destroyed {[Foreign invaders] will destroy [them]} [completely, with the result that] no stone here [in this Temple area] will be left on top of another stone.”
Yesu kamgambira, “Hashi, guziwona numba azi ngulu? Kwahera ata libuwi limu halisigali panani pa limonga, kila shintu hashibomolwi.”
3 After they arrived on Olive [Tree] Hill across [the valley] from the Temple, Jesus sat down. When Peter, James, John, and Andrew were alone with him, they asked him,
Yesu pakaweriti kalivaga kulugongu lwa Mizeyituni kulolana na Numba nkulu ya Mlungu, su Peteru na Yakobu na Yohani na Andereya wamkosiya pambwega gweka yawu.
4 “Tell us, when will [that] happen [to the buildings of the Temple? Tell us what will happen that will show us that all these things that God has planned] are about to be finished {that [God] is about to finish all these things [that he has planned]}.”
“Gutugambiri vitwatira avi havilawili ndii? Lilanguliru gaa halilanguziyi handa vitwatira avi vyapakwegera kulawira?”
5 Jesus replied to them, “[I cannot give you a simple answer to your questions. All I will say is], beware that no one deceives you [concerning what will happen]!
Yesu kanja kuwagambira, “Mlikali weri muntu nakiza kukuzyangani.
6 Many people will come and say (that I sent them/that they have my authority) [MTY]. They will say, ‘I am [the Messiah]!’ They will deceive many people.
Wantu wavuwa hawizi pawalitumiya litawu lyaneni, pawalishema, ‘Neni na Kristu!’ Womberi hawawapotuziyi wantu wavuwa.
7 Whenever people tell you about wars [that are close] or wars that are far away, do not be troubled. [God has said] that those things must happen. [But when they do happen, do not think] that [God] will finish all [that he has planned] at that time!
Pampikinira ngondu na tetesutetesu zya ngondu, namuwera na lyoga. Vitwatira avi mpaka vilawiri, kumbiti upeleru weni wankali.
8 [Groups who live in various] countries will fight each other, and various governments will fight each other. There will also be [big] earthquakes in various places; and there will be famines. Yet, [when these things happen, people will have only just begun to suffer. The first things that they suffer will be like] the first pains a woman [suffers] who is about to bear a child. [They will suffer much more after that].
Isi yimu hailikomi na isi imonga, ufalumi wumu haulikomi na ufalumi umonga, pahala pavuwa hapaweri na malendemeru na njala. Vitwatira avi gambira pakwanja kutama kwa kulera nonu.
9 Be ready for [what people will do to you at that time]. Because [you believe in] me, they will arrest you and put you on trial before the religious councils. (In the synagogues/In the Jewish meeting places), you will be beaten {others will beat you}. You will be put {[People will put] you} [on trial] in the presence of high government authorities. As a result, you will be able to tell them [about me].
“Mwenga mlikali weri! Mana wantu hawawajegeni kumahakama, na kuwakomanga munumba ya Mlungu, Hawawajegi palongolu pa utuwa na wafalumi toziya munjimiriti neni, su mpati kuwagambira visoweru viwagila.
10 My good message must be proclaimed {[You] must proclaim my good message} to [people in] all people-groups before [God finishes all that he has planned].
Mpaka huti shisoweru shiwagira shibwerwi kwa Maisi goseri.
11 And when people arrest you in order to prosecute you [because you believe in me], do not worry before that happens about what you will say. Instead, say what [God] puts into your mind at that time. Then it will not be [just] you who will be speaking. It will be the Holy Spirit [who will be speaking through you].
Nawomberi pawakubateni na kuwajega kumahakama, namlihola kwa galiya gamfira kutakula, shipindi shilii pashiyiza, mtakuli shoseri shakakupananeni, mana mwenga ndiri mwamfira kutakula, ira Rohu Mnanagala.
12 [Other evil things will happen]: People [who do not believe in me] will (betray/help others seize) their brothers [and sisters] in order that [the government] can execute them. Parents [will betray] their children, and children will betray their parents so that [the government] will kill their parents.
Mlongu hakamgalambuki mlongu gwakuwi kalagwi na tati hakamgalambuki mwana gwakuwi na wana hawawatenduwi walera wawu na kuwalaga.
13 [In general], you will be hated by most [HYP] people {most [HYP] people will hate you} because [you believe in] me. But all you who continue [to trust in me strongly] until your life is finished will be saved {[God] will save all you who continue [to trust in me strongly] until your life ends}.
Wantu woseri hawawakalalireni mwenga toziya ya litawu lyaneni. Kumbiti ulii yakahepelera mpaka upeleru ndo hakalopoziwi.
14 [During that time] the disgusting [thing/person that the prophet Daniel described] will enter the Temple. It/He will defile [the Temple when he enters it and will cause people to abandon it. When you see it/him standing there] where it/he should not be, [you should run away quickly] (May everyone who is reading this pay attention to [this warning from Jesus]!) [At that time] those people who are in Judea [district] must flee to [higher] hills.
“Pamwona ‘Likalaliru lihalibisiya’ ligoloka pahala pakuwi ndiri, muntu yakabetula kavimani mana yakuwi, panu wantu wawawera Yudeya watugili mumigongu.
15 Those people who are outside their houses must not enter their houses in order to get anything [before they run away].
Muntu yakaweriti pampindi pashitwiku sha numba nakasuluka kwingira mnumba mwakuwi kutola shintu.
16 Those who are [working] in a field must not return [to their houses] in order to get [additional] clothes [before they flee].
Yakawera mlirambu nakawuya ukaya kutola lihabiti lyakuwi.
17 But I feel very sorry for women who will be pregnant and women who will be nursing their babies in those days, [because it will be very difficult for them to run away]
Shondi shondi wamawu yawawera na yinda na walii yawanoniziya mumashaka galii!
18 In those days people will suffer very severely. People have never suffered like that since the time when God first created the world until now; and people will not [suffer that way] again. [So] pray that [this painful time] will not happen in (winter/the rainy season), [when it will be hard to travel].
Mmuluwi Mlungu vitwatira avi navilawira mashaka ga mbepu.
Mana kupeluwa kwa shipindi ashi hakongeleki nentu kweni lawiri kwanjira Mlungu pakanyawiti isi mpaka leru, hapeni ilawiri kayi.
20 If the Lord [God] had not [decided that he would] shorten that time [when people suffer so much], everyone would die. But he has [decided to] shorten that time because [he is concerned about you] people whom he has chosen [DOU].
Handa Mtuwa mekapunguli ndiri mashaka aga kwahera muntu hakalopolwi. Kumbiti su kwajili ya wasyagulwa wakuwi, Mtuwa kapungula mashaka aga.
21 [At that time people who will] falsely [say that they are] Messiahs and prophets will appear. Then they will perform many kinds (of miracles/of things that ordinary people cannot do) [DOU]. They will even try to deceive [you] people whom God has chosen, [but they will not] be able to do that. So at that time if someone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Messiah!’ or [if someone says], ‘Look, he is over there!’ do not believe it!
“Su muntu pakawagambirani, ‘Guloli, Kristu kapanu!’ Ama ‘Ka palii!’ Namjimira.
Mana hawalawili ashina Kristu wa upayira na mambuyi wa upayira, hawatendi malangaliru na mauzauza, su kuwapotuziya wasyagulwa wa Mlungu handa payiwezikana.
23 Be alert! Remember that [I] have warned you about all this before [it happens.]
Su mwenga mlikali weri. Neni nukugambirani vitwatira vyoseri pamberi vyenilawiri.
24 After the time when people suffer like that, the sun will become dark, the moon will not shine,
“Mashaka aga, pagapera kala, mshenji hagutulwi luwindu na lyezi hapeni lilangali.
25 the stars will fall from the sky, and all things in the sky will be shaken {[God will cause] all things in the sky to shake}.
Ntondu hazituluki kulawa kumpindi na makakala ga kumpindi hagazitikiziyi.
26 Then people will see [me], the one who came from heaven, coming through the clouds powerfully and gloriously.
Panu hawamwoni Mwana gwa muntu pakiza mumawundi na likakala likulu pamuhera na ukwisa.
27 Then I will send out my angels in order that they gather together the people whom [God] has chosen from [everywhere, and that includes] all the most remote places on earth [IDM, DOU].
Shakapanu hakawatumi wantumintumi wa kumpindi wawajojiniri wasyagulwa wakuwi kulawa wega zoseri zya musheshi za pasipanu, kulawa upeleru wa pasipanu mpaka upeleru wa mpindi.
28 Now I [want you to] learn something from this parable about [the way] fig trees [grow]. [In this area], when their buds become tender and their leaves begin to sprout, you know that summer is near.
“Mleki mtera gwa mkuyu guwafundi. Mitambi ya mitera payanja kunama na kutomola mahamba, muvimani kuwera shipindi sha kutowa vula shapakwegera.
29 Similarly, when you see [what I have just described] happening, you yourselves will know that it is very near [the time for me to return] [MTY]. [It will be as though I am] already at the door [HEN].
Ntambu iraa ayi mwenga pamwona vitwatira avi vyankulawira, muvimani handa shipindi shapakwegera nentu.
30 Keep this in mind: You have observed the things that I have done and said, but all of those events [that I have just told you about] will happen before all of you will die.
Nakaka nukugambirani, shiyiwuku ashi shankupita ndiri pamberi pa vitwatira vyoseri avi kulawira.
31 You can [be certain that] these things [that I have prophesied] will happen. [You can be more certain of that than] you can [be certain that] the earth and what is in the sky will stay in place.
Mpindi na isi hapeni zipiti, kumbiti visoweru vyangu su hapeni vipiti.
32 But no one knows the exact time [when I will return]. The angels in heaven also do not know. Even [I do not know.] Only my Father knows.
“Kumbiti kwahera muntu yakavimana lishaka wala shipindi, ama ntumintumi gwa kumpindi, ama Mwana, ira Tati gweka yakuwi ndo mweni yakavimana.
33 So be ready, [like people who are waiting for an important man to come], because you do not know when that time will come [when all these events will happen]!
Mloli weri na mshenjeri, mana muvimana ndiri shipindi hashi hashisoki ndii.
34 When a man who wants to travel [to a distant place] is [about to] leave his house, he tells his servants that they should manage the house. [He tells] each one what he should do. Then he tells the doorkeeper to be ready [for his return].
Hayiweri handa muntu yakawuka ukaya kugenda mwanja pakawalekera wantumintumi wakuwi, kila yumu na lihengu lyakuwi. Shakapanu kamgambira mlolera mlyangu kaweri masu.
35 [That man must always be] ready, [because he does not know whether] his master will return in the evening, at midnight, when the rooster crows, or at dawn. [Similarly], you also must [always] be ready, because you do not know [when I will return].
Su mulikali masu, toziya muvimana ndiri mweni kaya hakawuyi ndii, pamonga pamii ama pashiru ama mandawira putiputi.
36 [May it not happen that] when I come suddenly, I will find that you are not ready!
Handa pakiza lindimu nakawawona mgonja.
37 These words that I am saying to you [disciples] I am saying to everyone [who believes in me: Always] be ready!” [That is what Jesus warned his disciples].
Ganawagambirani mwenga, nuwagambira wantu woseri, ‘Mshenjeri!’”
